Hey nostriches, I need your help with some advice.

After 2 years doing my best to counter bitcoin FUD pretty much full time I’ve run out of financial gas to keep doing this.

Wouldn’t be an issue except I have a family and I’m the sole income earner. CH4Capital will eventually pay me something, but at what point is uncertain. Infrastructure deployment on landfills takes a long time and we are still at the site identification stage. I’m fortunate that we do have investments in early stage tech companies that are going well - but no liquidity likely for 4-5 years.

My options seem to be

A. Sell some of our modest stack believing that’ll tide us over to when CH4Capital gets up and running

B. Get a real job - within the bitcoin ecosystem. I’m very grateful that there are a couple of options here.

C. Attempt to get my newsletter to a stage that it’s paying something decent (seems the least feasible option, as it currently turns over four figures p.a).

D. Something that’s staring me in the face but I’m too blind to see it.

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

I skew pretty heavily towards the risk-averse and if I were in a similar situation I would probably opt for getting a job (Bitcoin or elsewhere) and plan to be there long enough for the other endeavor to start bearing fruit.

This way protects your stack for potentially another cycle, gives you a step back from what you are doing so that when you return you'll have a fresh set of eyes and renewed energy.

Just my two sats, it's hard to give advice for these things because there are so many variables that are unknown.

Totally! There are many variables at play - and great to have your perspective on this. It’s one of those cases in life where getting others’ perspectives is illuminating where my own thinking has become limited.
